Reseñas de la Crítica

“'What a fantastic read, but not for the faint-hearted!'” (Martina Cole)

Interesting

Linda Calvey is brave and interesting. She generously shares her life story. I highly recommend this book, it is clever without being gory or too graphic.

Great Book

This was really a great self read audiobook - very interesting story, very interesting life - I enjoyed this and find Linda's honesty great - I know theres nay sayers but I actually believe her version - I didn't even know she existed before reading this book, so with no bias, I do believe her

Snapshot into an unimagined life...

Fascinating book. Linda Calvey certainly lived a very unconventional life. Often drawn to her, often repelled its such an interesting walk through the type of life that is more familiar in fiction. Linda was a fabulous narrator and writer. Really a worthwhile listen!
